a few more to finish up for today
Greece
Turkey & Cyprus
Belarus & Ukraine
That's as far as I've gone with the names, will post more screenshots of regions as I finish doing the province names for those regions.

Ok, just never heard of that spelling, doesn't seem all that common though.

No wait you are correct - should be -burg not -berg. Thanks for catching that.
Excellent work OH! Also, I'm glad it is an anglophone map... better to just have one language than several (like Constantinople province... it would have different spellings depending on who owned it). Much simpler to just have all provinces in one language.
Just a question though (sorry if already answered previously): with this finalised design, what is the breakdown of land and sea provinces?? Like... how many are land, how many are sea??
EDIT: Ahh just looking at the map for Turkey. Why is Istanbul province "Istanbul"?? My understanding is that local residents of the city called it that (from the Greek for "in the city" ??), and the rest of the world knew the city as "Constantinople" for all of the 19th century, and partly into the 20th??

Nobody's business but the Turks, perhaps
Seriously - because Constantinople was too, too long to make fit and look decent on the map.
At the current time the breakdown is 2581 land provinces and 281 sea provinces, for the grand total of 2862 provinces allowed by the game engine.
Brilliant! Thanks for the quick responses!
Would you be needing a new cities.bmp doing by any chance?? What with the rescaled province sizes... I know the cities.bmp is only a small task... but would be a nice touch I suppose. I'd be happy to help what little I could with this task if you would like (might also have to persuade tyrel as well haha!).

England between 1836-1936 should have 9 regions with 27 areas.
1. Lancashire (Manchester, Liverpool, Burnley/Blackburn)
2. Northumberland (Newcastle, Sunderland, Stockton-on Tees/Middlesbrough)
3.Yorkshire (Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Hull, Huddersfield)
4. West Midlands (Birmingham, Coventry, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, West Bromwich)
5. East Midlands (Nottingham, Leicester, Derby)
6. East Anglia (Ipswich, Norwich)
7. South West (Bristol, Plymouth)
8. South East (Portsmouth, Southampton, Maidstone)
9. Greater London (London)
At the moment you have 26 areas with loads of strange places like Salisbury, Chelmsford, Bath, Cambridge...If we are talking about Industrial Britain from 1836-1936 the areas I have listen are more important and shouldn't be left off the map. Some of the areas are like "bath, wasn't that a city 2,000 years ago and has 10 people living there?" lol

Hey OH these look great.
I have a small comment though, or should i say request. It's regarding the danish part of the map.
First of all, I'm not sure Esbjerg is a good name for a province. The city wasn't founded until 1868, as a replacement for the loss of the important port of Altona.
Perhaps the old city of Ribe would be a better name for the province, even though it doesn't have a port.
Or perhaps Fredericia on the east coast, which was an important army garrison and later a railroad hub.
what do you say, is that possible?
Edit: After a little digging I don't think Ribe is the right choice either. Ribe is one of the oldest cities in the region, but by the 18 hundreds it was being overshadowed by some of the other cities.
Vejle was one of the larger cities growing much more rapidly than Ribe in this time period, from roughly the same size at game start to well over three times the size of ribe by the turn of the century.
Perhaps Kolding could be a good choice as well, it is situated on the border between northern Denmark and the Schleswig. Like Vejle it was a growing city in this period, and in the first war against prussia, one of the important battles was fought there.
So in my opinion its a choice between.
Fredericia, which was a army garrison, and later was a railroad hub.
Vejle which is one of the largest cities in the region, and today it's the administration center of the southern danish region.
Kolding which much like vejle was a large city in the region, (by danish standards of course), and the site of one of the more important battles involving denmark in the time period.
It's also an old royal residence.
I'm not sure which I prefer but i would properly go with Kolding, since it's a little bit of everything.

can not add any more provinces to England due to province density issues as listed in the first pages of the post by XieChengnuo. So the current configuration will have to remain at the current number, though province boundaries can be reworked within that framework. The basis of the map we currently have was the historic counties, with 1-2 counties per Clio province, though a couple provinces in the North (Yorkshire, Lancashire) were split to create more than one province given their dominant role in the industrial era.
As for province names, please list which names should be replaced with others, and they we be given consideration.
You wouldn't have a blank outline of the British Isles would you?
From which you drew up the map with.

I mean this one but without all the provinces listed, Just blank outline, The one you must of used to start out?

You did see my edit right?
But Ribe is an ok choice anyway.
The home of the one of the few cathedrals in Denmark. Still it was losing influence all through this period
yep. give me a bit, i'll post one up for you. (Computer giving me some grief at the moment)
Here we go
I guess liberating it as the Greeks will not be as fun.Nobody's business but the Turks, perhaps
Seriously - because Constantinople was too, too long to make fit and look decent on the map.
Thinking more on the Constantinople/Istanbul naming issue... what if the name tag for Constantinople was put on the top? *Something* like this, perhaps (where the red box is - may need to be slightly bigger):
I agree with Jayavarman that it would be a sweeter victory taking "Constantinople" as opposed to "Istanbul". As I say too, more accurate naming for this timeframe.

Thanks Mate for the Map, I've had a go at doing a map for England.
